06-06-2009 - World Of Warcraft 3 Year Celebration
World of Warcraft has been around for 3 years now."A number of companies are attempting to work on stopping cheaters in online games. In order to celebrate the game’s success, Blizzard Entertainment has created a new contest to commemorate the anniversary.The idea is simple, but the execution, at times, leaves something to the imagination. It’s been three years since players first entered World of Warcraft and took up their roles in shaping its history.Cheating is a fact of dealing with humans, and large systems of networked computers are not exempted. Cheating tools flourish online, catering to insiders conversant in the games’ arcane language. “Take advantage of this programming breakthrough — why waste time grinding with the grunts . In that time, friendships have been formed; wars have been waged; and through incredible feats of coordination and perseverance, some unimaginably powerful beings have been vanquished. To celebrate the third anniversary of the game’s North American launch and to show our gratitude for the ongoing support, enthusiasm, and dedication of its thriving community, we’ll be giving away several prizes over the next three weeks: * During the week of November 26, we’ll award 10 J!nx gift certificates valued at $100. 00 each.play WoW in GOD MODE!” one ad reads for a $28 downloadable cheat package for World of Warcraft that purports to be “undetectable”. Most online-game companies appear resigned that cheating will occur, so they try to block it by observing game play and looking for suspicious things, such as avatars unexpectedly teleporting. World of Warcraft has attempted to squelch cheaters with a program called “The Warden.” They have refused to make public comments about it. " . * During the week of December 3, we’ll give away 20 sets of four World of Warcraft action figures. * During the week of December 10, we’ll provide 5 lucky players with an Apple iPod Touch and a two-year World of Warcraft subscription.

06-06-2009 - Patch 3.1, Ulduar and Blizzard love~
Has been a while ^_^ I must say that I didn’t really have anything to write after my last post; nothing interesting was really happening (I didn’t read for about a month because of connection issues with my ISP, AT&T and Blizzard), and during that month, ironically speaking my guild got Immortal (but sadly that was the only time they got it)."The past November 30th was a very interesting night. Anyway, last night, big night, patch day 3.There’s so many screenshots to post but lets see if I can go in order. 1 Ulduar.That night was a Sunday, and we had planned a raid to Malygos, which would make the second time we saw that boss (25-man). The server came up very late (at around 7-8 PM CST or somewhere around there), first thing we tried was the new dude in Archavon Sadly we got there too late; only managed to pull once and after we got back they were already vanishing (because Wintergrasp was starting in 10 minutes).I’ve never done the 10-man version so far so… There are a couple of pictures of the encounter. Afterwards we headed to Ulduar, the first boss is pretty nice, all that tanking stuff is really fun But you know what is the most fun thing about this.If I’m not wrong that night it only took us two attempts to kill Malygos. That made us the second alliance guild in Mal’Ganis to kill Malygos. For some weird reason our instance got bugged; we were all totally lagged (moving all over but nothing else was working), but for other guilds in the server their instance was fine.The funny note of the fight was that, when he was about to die we almost wiped, but two brave souls enraged and managed to take him down and remain alive at the end of it That’s Apperishun and me! I’m not sure what happened, but for some reason by the end of the fight the rest of the raid was blasted, I just remember that a ton of people died and I even thought that we were going to wipe. So, we finished the raid a lot earlier than expected, you wouldn’t believe how fast we did all that. We waiting for probably two hours or so and we were still inside (no server disconnection or anything like that).After we were done I’m not sure who was it, but since we had a full raid, someone threw the idea of going and killing all the raid leaders around the world. I was so bored I decided to kill myself, but the lag didn’t let me At the end we didn’t really manage to see the first boss, the night was pretty frustrating for us.After a couple of minutes we filled up the raid (with 40 people) and started the raid. Keep in mind that, even tho we did have people from other guilds (I think two or so other guilds), of the 40 people in the raid, Pro Baddies was probably 30-35 or around there, so the majority of it was our guild. As we were going up some people fell off the elevator and even the bridge at the top, hehehe. So we went into the city and killed him rather easily. After that we headed to Silvermoon City, the target this time was Lor’themar Theron, the Regent Lord of Quel’Thalas. By the time we killed her the Horde was already aware of our movements, we had to strike the last target as fast as possible… What was left.mp3 players And then my theory is that the patch wasn’t really ready, maybe they just released it because they were already taking too long (I think I read somewhere that Blizzard has some sort of quality control in their games, but doesn’t seem like it). Orgrimmar, and our host would be Thrall. phones cell If you go to mmo-champion you’d read that there are so many bugs in the instance (wasn’t there a beta test.When we got there there was already a healthy defense of Horde, some people said it was impossible, but after we learned that horde gave the alert that we were there we had no other choice than to gather all our courage and ram into the place. " . ). wow This might be a QQ, but I was so looking forward to get some action after months, maybe tonight, hopefully. If anybody is wondering, my dual spec is PvE Tank and PvE DPS. wow gold I specced something last night, was thinking about respeccing and change some stuff this morning but noticed that there was some sort of rollback and all my talents were reset, so at least I saved some Gs there ĄŁ

06-06-2009 - Rogue tips for raiding Ulduar
As a break in the boss-by-boss breakdown of Ulduar fights, I wanted to go over a few general raiding tips for Rogues."Today's musical selection for the queue will be the late great John Coltrane playing My Favorite Things in 1961 opposite the piano stylings of the equally great McCoy Tyner. Some of them may be very old ideas that you've been using since level 60, while a few others are new tricks that we've learned in WotLK.Yes, some people may cover their ears and scream ""omg soprano sax!"" but others will no doubt spend 10 minutes watching and listening to these master musicians partake in this performance of a quintessential jazz song. Kayri asked... ""A question about the speculation on the next expansion; everyone thinks it will be either The Maelstrom or The Emerald Dream. Hopefully you'll be able to glean a few good bits of information to take with you the next time you zone into any raid.How will we quest in The Maelstrom. There's nothing more important than properly preparing for a new fight, but knowing the general tactics for any encounter will make understanding new fights much easier. Are we going to swim around all the time. First, however, I would like to comment on the new Overkill."" We don't know. Its new form is a significant buff when looking at total energy generated, and also for PvE Mutilate Rogues.There was some aquatic mount rumblings when patch 3.1 was on the PTR, however that was mainly for the turtle mount you can get via fishing. However, it is a nerf to our 6-second burst window during a Cheap Shot -> Kidney Shot combo.It's completely possible there will be more underwater activities if the next expansion is The Maelstrom, as it would certainly fit the lore. And if the next expansion is the Emerald Dream, I fully expect to be able to jump on a horned Night Elf and ride him around like a Caribou. Bart asked... ""With all the extended updates, restarts, etc., I was wondering does anyone know what it is that takes 12-14 hours to do each fortnight. I feel this will end up being a net buff for Rogues, as relying solely on the first 6 seconds of a fight in PvP has become far to gimmicky for us to rely on. It just seems like a very long time to need to have everything offline and I was genuinely curious to know roughly what happens during that time."" The servers are a gigantic group of computers working together with one another. Feint: I'll never forget the day that Feint first found its way to my hotbar.Think of the tens of thousands of people who connect to a server every day. I was duo'ing Razorfen Kraul with another Rogue, trying to kill the pig boss (Agathelos the Raging) for his infamous Swinetusk Shank.In the perfect world there'd need to be no restarts or maintenance on the servers, but the world is far from perfect. After stealthing through most of the instance, we finally reached the boss.With that kind of load things fail and become worn out, needing to be replaced. A lot of people say ""Blizzard is making billions of dollars a year, why can't they get their servers to work. cell phone accessories With creative use of Sap and Blind, we were able to conquer the guards outside his gate."" Well, that's true. That was the first time I actually used Sap! After we engaged this gigantic boar, I picked up threat.But those people who say that need to remember that no one else in the world is running an operation like Blizzard is. mp3 player I obviously used Evasion to reduce my incoming damage, but I had blown Vanish on the mobs outside and was unable to use it to wipe my threat once Evasion had ended.Google and Microsoft have things that are close, but search technology presents significantly different requirements on their servers than a constant input and output of game information to tens of thousands of players at once. Blizzard uses maintenance time to refine their servers, replace hardware, make things work smoothly, and do other things that would otherwise hamper performance and stability if the realms were live. The boss was pounding me, I was sure to die in a few more hits.Web servers are commonly taken offline for maintenance, but you rarely ever notice it because other servers are there to jump right in. wow My friend began yelling furiously in party chat: ""USE FEINT USE FEINT USE FEINT!!!!!"" I found it in my action bar just quick enough to press it before I died, and the boss turned to assault the other Rogue.However with dynamic and ever changing game data on a truly massive scale, things like that are not always possible. I also think there is a good and necessary psychological component to having the servers be offline; it forces people who would otherwise play non-stop to get out and have look at the real world. I had exactly 1 HP left after the boar's rampage on me, and was lucky to have survived.We all know people like that. wow gold So my partner used his Evasion, and the boss died.Ensuring an interruption in their play schedule is a good thing. Ian asked... ""Should I gem to get the socket bonus. The Shank even dropped for me! Feint has come a long way from its humble beginnings.

06-06-2009 - The best zone of Wrath
Spinksville, following up to an earlier post concerning a great lore moment in Vengeance Landing, concludes that as a Horde player, Howling Fjord has emerged as the single best overall zone in Wrath."You've always wanted to be the eye of the storm: a World of Warcraft tank. The more I consider it, the more I'm inclined to agree with her.You're working your way up toward level 80, quest by quest and zone by zone. The Fjord has a mostly unified questline that slowly splits off into sub-plots concerning the Kalu'ak and Taunka, and the farther you get, the more you realize the impact your previous actions have had on that little slice of the world (and most of it's not good).Maybe you've consulted a leveling guide and done some research around the internet, and you're sporting a shiny, efficient leveling spec. As Spinks observes, it's a very immersive experience that does a great job of conveying both the moral ambiguity of the Forsaken's position, and the fact that Northrend's a continent without a lot of good options.Or maybe you're taking things more casually, experimenting with different specs and abilities on your own and devoting most of your energy to soaking up the sights and the lore, meeting new friends and settling into your first guild. ""Forced to choose between the lesser evil and the greater evil,"" she writes, "". Either way, you're beginning to feel the first tendrils of apprehension curling around your ankles. You haven't been able to get many instance groups to knock the shine off that new armor. Heck, maybe you're not even tanking-specced yet at all. you had better hope that the greater evil is very bad indeed because it is the only way to justify the things you have had to do.What's going to happen when you hit 80. "" That said, I have to admit that Icecrown is also pretty tough to beat lore-wise (with the Matthias Lehner quests being a particularly good touch, and please don't click that link if you haven't run into him yet). Everyone's going to expect you to know the pointy end of the sword from what's under that fluffy tail you feel inclined to tuck beneath you ... I haven't yet played an Alliance toon through Northrend, and Spinks is also a Horde player, so I'd like to get some input from Alliance-side players too.What can you bring to the table with absolutely (gulp) zero experience. Is the Fjord as good for Alliance as it is for Horde, or are your best questlines elsewhere. The basics of aggro management The first thing you need to understand, young Padawan, is the underlying principle that allows a tank to do his or her job: aggro. If you're Horde, do you agree that the Fjord was your best questing experience.Learn to dance with aggro as a Jedi does with the Force. I completed all but a handful of quests in Borean Tundra on my main, with the majority of Howling Fjord remaining open to my highest-level alt.As your group or raid's tank, you need to have an implicit understanding of aggro, from what it is and where it comes from, to why YOU want it and why the rest of the players don't. Tanking 101 You understand the principles of aggro – now what do you DO with it. While some parts of the Tundra are interesting, the zone is fragmented -- lacking any prevailing theme, and rife with anachronisms. What are the methods, tools and tactics that help you gain and hold aggro. cell phones Between DEHTA and the Fizzcrank gnomes' goofy escapade, I began to feel a little ennui until I swung by Howling Fjord and then plunged into the Lich King quest chains in Dragonblight. And once you have aggro, how do you live through it. As an introduction to Northrend, Borean Tundra was, for me, underwhelming. Great power and great responsibility What's it like to be the tank, anyway. mp3 But that's just me. The pivotal position you play in groups lends a unique perspective to how you play and enjoy the game. Class-specific tanking Class balance has become a fluid thing in today's World of Warcraft, but we can still point you toward some universal truths. I recommend starting in Howling Fjord while giving Borean Tundra a try, too.Know that the details in the following class-specific articles may have changed since they were written, but they'll give you a good feel for what you can expect from the tanking experience in your chosen class. " . wow I always felt more involved with the struggles in the Borean Tundra over the Howling Fjord, and by extension felt that it lead rather nicely into all the going ons of the Dragonblight.wow gold I figure I'll get around to following all the quests through in the Fjord as an Alliance some day, it's just been smoother for me in the Tundra.
